[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] utils/readme.txt: fix typos for size-stats-compare

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

A few typos sneaked into the new utils readme...

Additionally, I formulated the list of use cases a bit differently.

I still believe the current situation is prefereable, because it is :

the impact of
    - a specific option, or of a set of options,
  or
    - a new buildroot version

(use of the Oxford comma is very important, here! ;-] )

But yours is not completely incorrect either. ;-)

Just to make sure we settle this ;-)
The way I see it, the expanded version would be:

... the impact of a specific option, the impact of a set of options, or the
impact of a new buildroot version.

which I would shorten to either of:

... the impact of a specific option, a set of options, or a new buildroot
version.

... the impact of a specific option or set of options, or of a new buildroot
version.

and perhaps other variants, but I feel that _if_ you repeat 'of' in the 'of a
set of options' part, then you must also repeat it in the 'new buildroot
version' part.

Anyway, who reads these readme's anyway? ;-)
